Kingdome Come got 4.5 actually...and it definitely was only worth a 3.5

You sure? I coulda swore it was 5. Well anyway thats still way too high... 3.5 at best.

It was rated higher then Hip hop is dead and IMO hip hop is dead is 4.5.

Jay's album sure was trash

2/5 for Jay-Z, and Source got it right this time

what are you talking about? Jay didnt get 2 mics

Jay-Z got 4.5 mics for Kingdom Come..... worst cd ive heard in a while from an artist i respect, i woulda gave it 2/5 mics

Too many bubblegum tracks on there and by far Jay's worst lyrical effort

bumping

The Source hasnt mattered in years, they have been a complete joke for awhile now

Yo, Kingdom Come wasn't that good IMO but just because you don't enjoy an album doesn't mean it was Jay's lyrical disabilities. His lyrics and flow were actually pretty damn good on Kingdom Come. He was just spitting about shit none of you care about. His rhyming schemes and delivery was on point though. The material of the lyrics just weren't enjoyable, just like Encore.

I actually was feeling Kingdom Come a lot more after I listened to it a few more times recently. You're correct about cats not feeling him because of the subject matter, it's not what people were expecting. People should give that album more a chance.

And that's coming from someone who thinks Jay-Z is HIGHLY overrated.
